Welcome to the place where we get to let our geek flags fly and talk about all things geek. Basically a fuzzy guide to life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. This level of the podcast is another Bonusode, I felt bad about missing a week and this episode felt more like an extra than a proper level so here's my apology fix. A “definitieve” ranking of the MCU. Well…Definitely debatable & deniably definitive. Here's the list but the listen is much better.Scores are Blue / Marshall / Wookiee1 Werewolf by Night - 100 / 100 / 100 = 1002 Avengers: Endgame - 97 / 99 / 98 = 983 Thor: Ragnarok - 100 / 97 / 95 = 97.34 Avengers: Infinity War - 99 / 97 / 96 = 97.345 Black Panther - 97 / 98 / 96 = 976 Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 98 / 92 / 95 = 95 Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - 94 / 99 / 92 = 95 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 - 91 96 / 98 = 959 The Marvels - 90 / 99 / *** = 94.510 Captain America: The First Avenger - 93 / 95 / 95 = 94.3411 The Avengers - 95 / 90 / 97 = 94 Deadpool & Wolverine - 93 / 94 / 95 = 94 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - 91 / 96 / 95 = 9414 Captain America: Civil War - 95 / 92 / 93 = 93.3415 Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings - 95 / 99 / 85 = 9316 Iron Man - 94 / 85 /95 = 91.34 17 Thunderbolts* - 91 / *** / 92 = 91.518 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - 90 / 92 / 90 = 90.6719 Spider-Man: Homecoming - 90 / 88 / 93 = 90.34 Spider-Man: No Way Home - 87 / 94 / 90 = 90.3421 The Fantastic Four: First Steps - 90 / *** / 90 = 9022 Eternals - 94 / 96 / 78 = 89.3423 Spider-Man: Far from Home - 85 / 90 / 92 = 8924 Doctor Strange - 89 / 95 / 81 = 88.3425 Captain America: Brave New World - 85 / 90 / 88 = 87.67 Black Widow - 91 / 94 / 78 = 87.6727 Ant-Man - 90 / 89 / 82 = 87.34 Captain Marvel - 88 / 85 / 89 = 87.3429 Thor - 88 / 92 / 80 = 86.6730 Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - 91 / 90 / 78 = 86.3431 Ant-Man and the Wasp - 90 / 92 / 76 = 8632 Thor: Love and Thunder - 83 / 90 / 83 = 85.3433 Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - 86 / 87 / 80 = 84.3434 Avengers: Age of Ultron - 90 / 78 / 82 = 83.3435 Iron Man 2 - 77 / 80 / 88 = 81.6736 Thor: The Dark World - 84 / 81 / 71 = 78.6737 The Incredible Hulk - 83 / 78 / 65 = 75.3438 Iron Man 3 - 68 / 66 / 69 = 67.67Congrats on completing Bonusode #34.

You know, it's sad how some people just focus on skin colour. It doesn't matter how good someone is or how much they bring to the table, some people just can't see past the surface level appearance. It's truly unfair. I mean, it's even canon in the comic books. There is a Red Hulk. Suit up, it's time to see if Captain America: Brave New World is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices.

Anthony Mackie, who starred with Ford in Captain America: Brave New World, noted he was surprised by Ford's approachability, saying, "Usually, you have a big star in a movie.. but whenever the cast and crew got together, Harrison would come and just chill with us like a regular person."Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, your favorite hosts are wrapping up the final week of Marvel March. The trio discusses "Captain America: Brave New World," which they note is Sam Wilson's first solo film since officially taking on the mantle of Captain America. Overall, this film is not a bad entry into the MCU (despite what some reviews indicated). Harrison Ford is always a welcome addition to any film, and he worked well with Anthony Mackie.Produced by: Limitless Broadcasting Network.For more info, merch, and all the other podcasts, visit: www.limitlessbroadcastingnetwork.comCheck out Ashley's Disney deep dives at: pixiedustfiles.wordpress.comFollow your new Disney besties on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcastFollow Dan, honorary third host of the "Pixie Dust Twins" Podcast, and King of the Manifestos: @Dantaastic on Instagram and YouTube

Black Comic Books with JPenumbraThis Black History Month, we sit down with JPenumbra—TikTok creator, podcast host, and comic journalist—to talk about the state of Black representation in comics and superhero adaptations.From the realities of comic book pre-orders to why Captain America: Brave New World's struggles had nothing to do with Sam Wilson being Black, JP breaks down the systemic issues that keep diverse characters from getting their shot. We also highlight the Black creators shaping today's industry—and why Hardware deserves a screen adaptation immediately.Comics JP RecommendedD'orc – Image ComicsStatic: Season One (2021) – DC/MilestoneKilladelphia – Image ComicsRoots of Madness – Ignition PressCreators JP MentionedRodney BarnesStephanie WilliamsBrandon ThomasDavid F.

The Monthly Bugle is back for 2026! Ryan and David kick off the new year by looking back at everything Marvel dropped in 2025 — the highs, the lows, and the stuff that surprised us the most — before turning ahead to what the MCU has lined up next. We run through last year's Disney+ shows like Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, talking about what worked, what didn't, and which ones ended up being our favorites. Then it's movie time as we revisit Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts (New Avengers), and Fantastic Four: First Steps, including how they performed at the box office and where Marvel may have stumbled a bit. From there, we dive into a full 2026 MCU preview, breaking down upcoming series like Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, X-Men '97 Season 2, Vision Quest, and more — plus the big movies on the horizon like Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday. Oh, and of course… we settle our yearly Puny Pod bet, talk Marvel's changing box office landscape, and draft our 2026 picks. New year. New Marvel. Same Bugle chaos. ---------------- Support the show!

In this episode, Phillip and Eric attempt to continue their rewatch of David Fincher's The Killer adaptation, but things go awry and instead subject themselves to Captain America: Brave New World starring Anthony Mackie. They break down how immensely boring the film is, Phillip educates Eric on who Joaquin Torres is, and talk about how they should've watched M.A.N.T.I.S. instead.

Last year brought many challenges for Christian fantasy fans. From flops at the theaters now threatened by streaming slop, to creators making more events for Christian storytelling, to the continued growth of biblical fiction as the top genre of Christian-made entertainment—let's survey the top ten fantasy-related headlines from last year. Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen The Case of the Heart Stone by Tulli Cole Above the Circle of Earth by E. Stephen Burnett Mission update New at Lorehaven: many features over the holidays! We announced our new book quest in the Lorehaven Guild: Taliesin Onscreen: ‘Stranger Things' Season Five Gives Weight to Parents' Fears, A. D. Sheehan Onscreen: ‘David' Creators Answer all Your Questions About the Animated Hit Movie, Josh Shepherd Engage: Alleged ‘Rock and Roll' Soundtrack Incites Suspicion of Netflix's Narnia Movie, newcomer Sierra Simopoulos Sierra Simopoulos also reviewed Sons of Day and Night My own article: Why Christians Need Fantastical Stories Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Stop by the homepage for many upgrades, especially the Library. Soon: discover the Guild's new wing, the Lorehaven Authorship. 10. Superheroes failed to save ailing cinema Marvel movies, despite their strengths, all flopped at the box office. Personally I did like Fantastic Four: First Steps, but didn't love it. Lorehaven folks were generally positive about some hero movies. ‘Captain America: Brave New World' Labors to Save a Struggling MCU, Marian A. Jacobs The Antiheroes of Thunderbolts* Preach to Marvel Itself, Daniel Whyte IV ‘Superman' (2025) Will Make You Believe a Man Can Be Earnest, Josiah DeGraaf However, audiences were tepid; none of these films broke even. The greatest foe of superheroes? Flippancy. Next: lack of family. MCU reached its apex with creators who at least feigned sincerity. DC's nobledark tone was winning fans, until the studio freaked out. 9. Disney's ‘Snow White' remake bombed Sticking with cinemas, this one might be the year's greatest fail. ‘Snow White' (2025) Isn't the Fairest of Adaptations, Parker J. Cole I didn't see it. Few people did. More people saw YouTube roasts. This whole nonsense was an ugly reflection of three terrible trends ruining films: “woke” checkboxes, cynicism, and corporate gloss. 8. Fans abandoned legacy sci-fi franchises Once a Doctor Who hero, Russell T. Davies has ruined that series. Star Trek is adrift, desperately trying to hail imaginary “new fans.” Of course, Star Wars keeps failing to please its own alienated fans. The greatest culprit here: Godless, sex-obsessed progressivism. One can't correct from this without visibly rejecting “woke” politics. 7. K-Pop Demon Hunters owned the summer We haven't had a genuine pop-culture movie phenomenon in ages. Then along comes this little giant animated movie on Netflix. ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters' Pits Singing Heroines vs. Monster Idols, Marian A. Jacobs Kids sang catchy songs. Adults found deeper themes to explore. YouTube reactions and covers on Instagram/TikTok exploded. For the first time, Netflix had a true four-quadrant hit on its hands. And dear Lord, may they learn only the right lessons from this, and not turn this into another streaming slop like so much other stuff. 6. ‘Woke' stories stepped back, yet persisted 251. Could a Cultural ‘Vibe Shift' Advance Christian-Made Fiction? Due to political events we won't detail, that agenda is on the wane. At least the Sexualityism religion is seen as stale and unstable. Many are still trying to figure out what, if any, ideas will replace it. A. D. Sheehan had to critique Brandon Sanderson, a late arrival to the “woke” content scene: Brandon Sanderson's New Fantasy ‘Wind and Truth' Summons a Postmodern Cringestorm. Oddly enough, we keep seeing Christian parents posting about the random books they find, after which they ask “Is it woke?” Pro tip: yeah, it's probably woke, especially with a cover like that. By now we surely have enough Christian-made novels to help? 5. Corporate slop threatens human stories 274. Why Shouldn't AI-Generated Content Replace Human Stories? This is partly about AI-generated slop, but not always. Skeptical fans now refer to anything bad with “this looks AI.” Why? Because the problem goes deeper than technology amok. Long before AI, corporate studios began relying on algorithms. I believe that's when these stories began feeling less, well, human. 272. Can We Save Cinema from Sloppy Stories? Instead of human hunches, stories get greenlit by metallic minds. Reference: the short-lived run of Robert Zemekis mocap movies. At first people express curiosity, but eventually they get bored. Prediction: this too shall pass. We'll see a lot of forced “firsts,” like “the first fully AI-generated movie.” They may even succeed. But the novelty will quickly wear off as it did before Mars Needs Moms. Still, Christian creators must dig deeper to defend organic human stories with philosophies deeper than “AI destroys the Earth.” 4. Conservative TV is trying more fantasy We greatly anticipate the DailyWire+ show The Pendragon Cycle. Based on Stephen Lawhead's novels, seven episodes drop Jan. 22. Christian showrunner Jeremy Boreing actually stepped down from being Daily Wire co-CEO, it seems, to ensure finishing this series. Political hot takes scarcely outlast the day. Great stories last long. Alas, there's the constantly controversial Magician's Nephew movie Marketing for this is dreadful, with publicly floated nonsense about an actress playing Aslan or the movie featuring “rock and roll.” 257. By Aslan's Mane, is Netflix Really Casting a Lady as the Lion? Meanwhile, platforms like Angel (run by LDS members, yet with freedom for Christians) released The Wingfeather Saga season 2. We also saw a new angel-heroes show, Gabriel and the Guardians. ‘Gabriel and the Guardians' Echoes a Golden Era of Saturday Morning Cartoons, Jenneth Leed Alas, any sci-fi-ish efforts seem restricted to dystopian dramas. We need higher budgets and risks to widen those genre limits. 3. Realm Makers unites Christian creators 265. How Can We Shine the Gospel at the Realm Makers Expo? 266. How Do You Assemble a New Expo for Christian Fandoms? | with Scott Minor Last year's conference in Grand Rapids marked an experiment. Can this organization blend creator training with a public expo? Results were mixed-positive, mainly because of the venue choice. For me, a debut sci-fi novelist, results may have skewed better. Yet our primary audience must be Christian fans and families. A semi-major downtown is difficult for these folks to access. Next year's new venue in St. Louis looks much more promising! And it sounds like the public Expo will be easier for fans to access. For Christian fantasy to grow, we must unite over common interest. Yet this unity must be based on love for the true Jesus, our Author. 2. Biblical fiction is the top Christian genre There's no contest. Amish and historical fiction is dethroned. Christian fantasy (mostly romantasy) remains confined to books. Amazon's ‘House of David' Anoints an Intriguing Biblical Epic, Michael Allen ‘House of David' Is Crowned King of Amazon Prime, Jenneth Leed 1. Fantasy for teen/YA women continues to rule the Christian-made fantastical worlds This might well be the repeat headline from previous years. Facts are facts. Teen girls and women outread everyone else. When they like fantasy, they prefer female heroes/relationships. Romantasy is the queen. And her handmaiden is royal drama. 249. What is ‘Romantasy'? | with Parker J. Cole And the new princess on the block? Time-travel romance, for sure. 263. What is Time-Travel Romance? | Every Hour Until Then with Gabrielle Meyer These books get the most attention on Instagram and elsewhere. Is it true that “men don't read”? Not necessarily. Men do read. But they tend to read nonfiction about culture, theology, history. And for fantastical fiction, these readers have unique expectations. Christians here favor proven legacies, especially Lewis/Tolkien. One can't complain about the reality. Instead, meet the standard. Frankly, that's my hope for Above the Circle of Earth and beyond. Of course I support teen/YA female-focused fantasy stories! Yet that's not my genre; it doesn't help me, personally, grow in joy. Surely there are more readers who favor other kinds of stories, maybe deeper, maybe in underdog genres like sci-fi and horror. Christians must expect a true joyous sci-fi future under King Jesus. And we uniquely understand supernatural realities/horror today. But making new stories isn't enough. We must cultivate readers. That's our mission at Lorehaven with our new mission statement: Escape bad books. Find the best Christian fantasy and sci-fi! Watch this space for more about bad books, reader cultivation, and new resolutions to avoid scroll traps and level up your imagination. Com station Top question for listeners What was your top fantasy story or least-liked story in 2025? Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we overviewed the series. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.
We are taking a look at everything we missed over the break including Adam Sandler's Whole Lotta Love for Sammy Hagar, Ozzy Suicide Pacts, Bret Michaels news, Corey Feldman's doc drama with sexual abuse allegations against Corey Haim, Major things happening with Jelly Roll and the biggest flops of last year.MUSICSammy Hagar, Mick Fleetwood and Duff McKagan performed on New Year's Eve in Maui at a benefit for the Maui Health Foundation. Among those on hand was actor Adam Sandler, who helped Hagar sing Led Zeppelin's “Whole Lotta Love.” Hagar and Fleetwood posted highlights on Instagram. Hagar also posted a New Year message in which he says he'll do “more of the same” in 2026. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tTWgVVuLyBA · Sharon Osbourne Explained Why She Didn't Follow Through with Her and Ozzy's Suicide PactSharon Osbourne credits her kids for keeping her alive. She previously made headlines for revealing in a 2007 memoir that she and Ozzy had an assisted suicide pact should either of them get dementia.Sharon didn't follow through with that pact, because of her kids. She said if it weren't for them, she'd have gone with Ozzy because she's done everything she's wanted to do in this life.She added, quote, "Years ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility to help with my head. There were two girls over there. They didn't know each other, but they were in there, each [of their] mothers had committed suicide. "I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives, and I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids." Bret Michaels Fans, Get Ready: A Biopic and Book Are Dropping in 2026If you've been waiting for a deep dive into the life of Poison's frontman, mark your calendars. Bret Michaels has officially announced that he is releasing both a biopic and a new book in 2026. Jelly Roll Says His Weight Loss Helped Him See in Color AgainJelly Roll sat down with Joe Rogan recently and had a wild story to share. He told Joe that for over twenty years, he was colorblind. Here's what Jelly said, "I [could] see shades of colors. General concepts. I never realized there was nuances and prettiness." https://www.eonline.com/news/1426170/jelly-roll-on-200-lb-weight-loss TVMajor Shakeup: The Oscars Are Leaving ABC for YouTubeGet ready for a massive change in how we watch the Academy Awards. In a move that is sending shockwaves through Hollywood, the Academy has announced that the Oscars will be leaving ABC—their home since 1976—and moving exclusively to YouTube. Like Mother, Like Son: Judge Judy's Son Lands His Own Courtroom ShowJudge Judy Sheindlin (SHINED-LIN) is officially passing the gavel to the next generation. Her son, Adam Levy, is set to star in his very own courtroom series called Adam's Law. MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS:Over the break, we found out that a new documentary about Corey Feldman is coming out. And in this doc there were allegations about Corey Haim, his costar in Lost Boys molested him while filming. Then a week later, he is now denying those claims. https://pagesix.com/2025/12/20/celebrity-news/corey-feldman-walks-back-claim-that-corey-haim-molested-him/ · Mickey Rourke has turned to a GoFundMe campaign to help stave off eviction from his Los Angeles home after falling nearly $60,000 behind on rent, People magazine reports. https://people.com/mickey-rourke-using-gofundme-prevent-eviction-after-falling-nearly-usd60k-behind-rent-11878821?· Wild New Lawsuit Allegation: Is Riley Keough the Biological Mother of John Travolta's Son?Okay, there is some truly bizarre legal drama unfolding involving the Presley family and John Travolta. A new lawsuit has dropped a massive bombshell, alleging that Riley Keough is actually the biological mother of John Travolta and Kelly Preston's youngest son, Ben. AND FINALLYHollywood's Biggest Faceplants: The 10 Most Disappointing Flops of 20252025 had its hits, but let's be honest—it was also a year where some massive blockbusters crashed and burned. From superhero fatigue to Oscar-bait that nobody bit on, here's a look at the ten movies that just couldn't get audiences into seats this year. 1. Thunderboltsa. Marvel is definitely feeling the pain. While this movie made nearly $400 million, that's peanuts compared to the glory days of Avengers: Endgame. It suffered from the same problem as Captain America: Brave New World: it just felt like reheated leftovers from a saga that ended years ago. Aside from Superman, it looks like superhero fatigue has officially set in. 1. Snow Whitea. This was the exception to the rule that Disney remakes print money. It didn't even make back its budget. The movie had an identity crisis—trying to be both a classic recreation and a subversive twist—but the real killer was the PR nightmare. Between the casting controversies and political debates, the movie was "covered in mud" before it even hit theaters. 1. Mickey 17a. Everyone was dying to see what director Bong Joon Ho would do after Parasite. The problem? We waited too long. After endless delays, the hype died. When it finally dropped in February, reviews called it "toothless" and confused. Even Robert Pattinson couldn't save this sci-fi epic from being a disappointment. 1. After the Hunta. You'd think Julia Roberts and the director of Call Me by Your Name would be a slam dunk. Nope. It made less than $10 million globally (which is like, half of Roberts' salary). The movie was too long, too rambling, and felt more like a streaming series than a cinema event. 1. Christya. Sydney Sweeney is everywhere, but apparently, that doesn't guarantee box office sales. Her boxing biopic had one of the worst opening weekends ever for a wide release. It seems social media fame doesn't always translate to ticket sales. Sweeney defended it, saying she made it for "impact," not numbers, which is good, because the numbers were bad. 1. I Know What You Did Last Summera. Studios thought they could pull a Scream with this 90s revival. The issue? People actually love Scream. Nobody really cares about "The Fisherman" or the original 1997 film enough to show up for a legacy sequel. 1. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowherea. Jeremy Allen White played The Boss, but audiences didn't show up. Why? Because the movie focused on a depressing, quiet period of Bruce Springsteen's life where he moped around a bedroom recording acoustic tracks. People wanted the stadium anthems and energy, not the gloom. 1. Elio a. Pixar had a huge win with Inside Out 2, but Elio brought them back down to earth. The original director left mid-production, and the final product felt like a movie with no reason to exist. It was hard to explain the plot, and audiences just didn't connect with the aliens. 1. M3GAN 2.0a. The first M3GAN was a viral hit because it was campy, slasher fun. The sequel failed because it tried to pivot into a sprawling, geopolitical action thriller. The producers admitted they overthought it—they should have just given the people more of the killer doll they loved. 1. The Smashing Machinea. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson really wants an Oscar. He teamed up with Emily Blunt and an indie director for this gritty MMA drama. But here's the thing: nobody goes to a Rock movie to be depressed. It was a bleak story about addiction, and audiences preferred to stay home.

Thomas and Frank look back on the movies and TV that defined their 2025, from why Superman hit so hard to how Marvel's three-film run landed with Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and Captain America: Brave New World. They also talk about the stuff that disappointed them, why TV felt like it "won" this year, and the shows they could not stop thinking about, including IT: Welcome to Derry, Alien: Earth, and Andor. To close it out, they shift into 2026 mode: what's got them genuinely excited again, which upcoming releases feel like "event" movies, and how they want to evolve Challenge Accepted next year by being more personal and more present on social.

Marvel's 2025 trio felt like three different "versions" of the brand, and Thunderbolts was the one that showed the most heart and restraint. Sinners is a great example of why original stories can still feel like a must-watch cultural moment. 2025 was stacked for TV, and the list of standouts is honestly longer than most years' movie lists. Andor remains the gold standard for prestige franchise storytelling, and the release strategy helped it stick. 2026 looks like it could swing back to a movie-forward year with multiple "event" releases on the calendar. They want the show to feel more personal in 2026, including more natural social posts and more listener involvement. Quotes "Talking about you, some of our favorite movies and shows from 2025 and what we're hyped for in 2026." "Yeah it was I needed that movie this year. Like I needed it." "They gave a director a chance to tell their story." "Right now, welcome to dairy. Holy cow. These last couple episodes have been so damn fire." "It makes me cry that it's the finale." "You don't necessarily need to make a polished post." "It's for people, not just, you know, for box office numbers."

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! —the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: was it really that bad? We're celebrating five years of cinematic redemption.November's here, and that means it's time for our annual deep dive into the biggest cinematic faceplants of the year. First up, one of 2025's superhero-sized stumbles — Captain America: Brave New World.With Sam Wilson stepping into the shielded spotlight, the film promises a bold new chapter in the legacy of America's most iconic hero. But behind the patriotic veneer lies a tangled web of rewrites, reshoots, and a post-production timeline that rivals a presidential campaign. Is this a gripping political thriller worthy of the Winter Soldier legacy—or a bloated blockbuster weighed down by too many cooks in the writers' room?As Thunderbolt Ross ascends to the presidency and global tensions simmer, Brave New World aims to blend superhero spectacle with cloak-and-dagger intrigue. But does it soar or sink?Tune in as Troy and Brad break down the film's ambitions, its execution, and whether Marvel's latest gamble is a brave new triumph—or a not-so-subtle bomb.

In this episode, a listener suggestion takes us to the early days of the "elevated horror" phenomenon and the meteoric rise of production studio A24. So join us as we check out Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin from 2013. Jason settles in for a first time watch on what is often a pretty divisive film. Dustin, already a fan, tries to run down the various folklore influences and possible interpretations of the story.

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian Harloff and Steph Sabraw dive into some HUGE updates from the world of superheroes and fantasy! The biggest story? James Gunn may have just confirmed that he's already working on Superman 2 — even though he previously hinted that there wouldn't be a traditional sequel.

We also revisit James Gunn's clarification of what's canon in the new DCU, as he continues to reshape the future of DC storytelling.

The MCU is once again in the spotlight as major Avengers: The Kang Dynasty leaks have surfaced online—and we're diving into everything we've learned. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the original plan for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, its evolution into Avengers: Doomsday, and what it all means for Marvel Phase 5, Secret Wars, and the future of the Multiverse Saga. Marvel Studios seems to have scrapped Kang as the main villain in favor of Doctor Doom—and for good reason. After Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania flopped and Jonathan Majors' legal issues became a major concern, insiders say the studio lost faith in the Council of Kangs storyline. Now, with Stephen McFeely rewriting both Avengers 5 and Secret Wars, and the Russo Brothers returning to direct, the entire direction has shifted. We're breaking down the leaked Kang Dynasty script that includes wild reveals like a Moon Knight team-up, Miles Morales' MCU debut, a Deadpool 3 crossover, and even a Spider-Man: No Way Home reunion. Plus, what role was Doctor Doom supposed to play before becoming the central threat in Avengers: Doomsday? And how does this affect the lead-in to Avengers: Secret Wars? Other stories covered: Captain America: Brave New World nears $200M at the domestic box office. A Working Man dominates Snow White in a surprise upset. Warner Bros. shakeups and early talks of new leadership. First reactions for The Minecraft Movie are in—and they're surprisingly mixed but intriguing. AND — in a massive shift — Warner Bros. has completed the worldwide sale of Coyote vs. Acme to Ketchup Entertainment. Yes, the previously shelved, fan-beloved Looney Tunes film is back! The Wile E. Coyote movie—starring Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor, directed by Dave Green and written by Samy Burch—was shelved for tax reasons despite strong test screenings. But now it's getting a theatrical release in 2026, with Ketchup shelling out close to $50 million for the rights. Produced by James Gunn, this film has become symbolic of Hollywood's internal battles between artistry and cost-cutting. Marvel. DC. Box office drama. Studio shakeups. Leaks. Come for the nerd news—stay for the chaos.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- During Monday's White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about a report that a French member of European parliament is seeking to reposes the Statue of Liberty. Her response was hilarious, noting that if it wasn't for America, the French would be speaking German—referencing World War II. 6:20pm- According to research from the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, former President Joe Biden signed dozens of executive orders with an “autopen”—raising questions about the legitimacy of those actions. Did Biden know what he was signing? Earlier this year, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed that during a closed-door meeting Biden had no recollection of signing an executive order that effectively froze new liquid natural gas export permits. While aboard Air Force One this weekend, President Donald Trump said that Biden's autopen pardons should be “null and void.” 6:35pm- In a recent interview, “Captain America: Brave New World” star Anthony Mackie called out the “death of the American male.” He explained: “They have literally killed masculinity in our homes, in our communities for one reason or another. But I raise my boys to be young men. And however you feel about that, you feel about that.” 6:50pm- Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) decided to sell his Tesla, explaining: "Every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people.”

Steve discusses a seemingly coordinated effort among certain COVID-era "experts" to retcon their advice about the COVID jabs and why you shouldn't be fooled by their seemingly newfound appreciation for real science. Then, attorney R. Davis Younts joins the show to talk about the Trump administration and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's plans to reinstate service members fired for refusing the COVID jabs. In Hour Two, Idolatry or Not exposes how the seemingly new phenomenon about UAPs is increasingly and obviously not really new at all.
